Need to get roof bars and a roof box. Never had one before, so have a few questions:

1. Have a done a search on here which suggest that having an opening pano roof maybe a problem. Is that true?
2. Is there any difference between the jag branded bars and box and others? E.g Thule
3. Any suggested boxes? Dont need a huge box, just something relatively average
4. Are aerodynamics important? I.e. is the sports box better?
5. Happy to consider second hand if anyone wants to sell their kit?

Happy to receive any relevant advice. Thanks in advance for your help?

I bought some Thule aero bars and a "carbon look" Kamei (Delphin 340k I think - not sure) about 11 years ago. With different foot packs (about £40 to change each time) this setup has been on my Scoob, a Disco3, Disco4, and now the FPace. The wider bars mean you can more the box over further for easier access, and i have also had box plus two bike carriers on at the same time. Bought from roofbox.co.uk. other sellers are available.

The box itself has been superb. Not the biggest, but ample for us. Light enough to manhandle - it lives on a sling up high in the garage. Locks are good and it has done everything asked of it. (Std 6yr warranty too).

1. We have had a piano opening Thule Alpine 100 for 20 years and never had a problem.
2. I don't know for certain but I suspect they are just rebranding another product.
3. Thule has served us well. We have the Thule Alpine 100 which, if I remember right, has a capacity of 370 litres. It also conveniently will take 4 Safeway green crates sidways on with space for a couple of pairs of walking boots st the front. Makes loading and unloading easier.
4. I always thought the roof box would severely impact performance and fuel consumption. In reality it appears to have had little effect on either, but then the Thule box is quite aerodynamic in shape.
5. Sorry, can't help you there..

I'm pretty certain Thule make most, if not all of the Jaguar branded carrying / travel accessories like these.

I know Thule make the rear mounted Cycle Carrier, and the Snow Traction Device, (aka Thule K-Summit). As far as the Jaguar Roof Sport Box is concerned, I'm pretty sure this is just a re-badged 'Thule Dynamic 800'. You will probably be able to match up the other boxes with those on a Thule Website / stockist.
